The SAGES Educational Resources Committee has developed this patient information brochure on Flexible Sigmoidoscopy to assist surgeons in preparing their patients for surgery. Given the variations in technique, SAGES has designed this patient handout to describe the most commonly performed techniques for flexible sigmoidoscopy, including:

• About flexible sigmoidoscopy
• What preparation is required
• What to expect during surgery
• What happens after flexible sigmoidoscopy
